OXIDE ORE SMELTING METHOD, AND PRODUCTION METHOD OF PELLET AND CONTAINER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nickel oxide ore smelting method capable of efficiently refining a nickel oxide ore, in a method of producing a metal or an alloy by reducing a mixture including an oxide ore.;SOLUTION: An oxide ore smelting method is of producing a metal or an alloy by reducing a molded oxide ore. The oxide ore smelting method includes: a mixing/kneading treatment step S1 of mixing and kneading at least the oxide ore and a carbonaceous reducer; and a reduction step S3 of putting the obtained mixture into a reduction furnace and heating at a prescribed reduction temperature. In the mixing/kneading step, for instance, a single screw extruder or a twin screw extruder is used for kneading.;SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1;COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT
